March BADness


Posted by Angela on April 14, 2017
2017: Year of the Blues   March was Women’s History Month and Hayti collaborated with SOULOWORKS to present an excellent program, Wimmin@Work, in celebration.

Among those powerful women whose lives helped shape the blues through music were Bessie Smith, Big Mama Thornton and Ella Baker, all born in March.   Another woman, ...read more

Although the words were sung, it was poetry. ...read more

Posted by Angela on April 3, 2017
Andrea once again produced an amazing program honoring our women and history.  From beginning to end women of all generations came together to acknowledge that we stand on the mighty and magnificent shoulders of women artists, educators, mentors, family and friends.   Thanks, Andrea, for conceiving the idea that led to our spontaneous program in 2016.  That was a lot of fun and, because of the response among artists and community, resulted in the 2017 program that resulted in planning for 2018.  As Andrea indicated during our conversations, many women artists spend so much time making life happen and working hard ...read more
